Manchester United vs Bournemouth – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester United host Bournemouth on Monday night, looking to maintain their impressive recent form.

Ruben Amorim’s side have lost only once in their last nine league games. This run has revitalised their season and pushed them up the table. The Red Devils were excellent in their 4-1 win over Wolves last weekend. Therefore, confidence will be high at Old Trafford.

However, they face a Bournemouth team that has enjoyed playing here recently. The visitors have won on their last two trips to this ground. Consequently, United must be defensively disciplined to avoid another upset.

Ruben Amorim is navigating several defensive absences. Matthijs de Ligt is out with a back injury, while Harry Maguire is also sidelined. This shortage forces a reshuffle at the back. Youngster Heaven could be called upon to start in defence alongside Luke Shaw and Noussair Mazraoui.

In attack, Benjamin Šeško is a major doubt due to food poisoning. Therefore, Matheus Cunha is expected to lead the line. He will likely be supported by Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount. Mount is pushing for a start after scoring three goals in his last seven appearances. Bruno Fernandes will captain the side from midfield. The Portuguese star has been in sensational form recently.
